Juneteenth is the celebration of the emancipation of the last group of slaves in Texas after the Civil War. The very first celebration took place on June 19, 1866 in Galveston. The word “Juneteenth” is a combination of the words “June” and “nineteenth.” It became a recognized Federal holiday in 2021.

Below are some of the activities taking place in middle Tennessee to celebrate the holiday in 2025. There are breakfasts and festivals, bike rides and fireworks.
